how is CVE-2021-22044 risky

I am looking at this CVE: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-22044

The description says:

In Spring Cloud OpenFeign 3.0.0 to 3.0.4, 2.2.0.RELEASE to 2.2.9.RELEASE, and older unsupported versions, applications using type-level @RequestMappingannotations over Feign client interfaces, can be involuntarily exposing endpoints corresponding to @RequestMapping-annotated interface methods.

Also on spring page https://spring.io/security/cve-2021-22044 they say:

Although a response is not returned for a request sent in this way, it does reach the corresponding server-side endpoint.

I dont understand how this is risky if the response is never returned? How could this CVE be exploitable?
